This article will show you how to do all three for new wrestlers and wrestlers already registered from previous seasons..

Registering for Individual League Matches and Tournaments
Once you’ve created your athlete and registered for the season you can register for individual league matches and tournaments. Remember, we also ask that in addition to doing official registration that you also mark attendance on Spond. It helps us ensure the best coaching coverage for the event.
To start, visit the wrestlingtournaments.com website. From any page, click on EVENTS in the upper menu. There, you’ll be presented with a list of upcoming events. Scroll or search and click the ENTER EVENT button to view event details.
From the event details page, click the REGISTER button to register your wrestler for that event.
Click the ADD REGISTRATION button and you’ll then be presented with a window that allows you to choose your registered wrestler.
Choose your athlete from the dropdown list. Enter their estimated weight. Remember, the league will send you official weight in times the day before the event. You’ll weight in the day of the event and start wrestling soon thereafter. Be as accurate as possible with your weight.
Choose division from the drop down - you should just see War Zone as an option. The team selection should auto default to Mt Lebanon.
When all your information has been added, select the + ADD ATHLETE BUTTON and it will add that athlete to the registration.
You’ll get a confirmation screen showing the athlete(s) you’ve just added. From this screen, you can add additional wrestlers if you have several athletes you manage.
When you are finished registering wrestlers, click the CONTINUE TO CHECKOUT BUTTON. You’ll be presented with a Level Up window. You can decline this and move to next step.
The payment screen will show. There is no payment required for league matches. Click the check box at the bottom and then the SUBMIT BUTTON.
You’ll see a payment successful screen and then be forwarded to a confirmation page showing the wrestler registration for that specific event.
You’ll also notice the estimated weigh-in time and wrestling start time. Please note that this time could change. If it does, you’ll be notified the day before the event.
